Evaluating image quality in AR/VR headsets: a comprehensive assessment of texture preservation, color fidelity, and 3D reconstruction

As AR/VR technologies advance, achieving high visual quality is essential for delivering immersive user experiences. This study evaluates image quality in leading AR/VR headsets, including the Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro, focusing on key aspects such as texture preservation, color fidelity, and 3D reconstruction. Texture preservation examines the retention of fine visual details across various environments, while color fidelity evaluates accurate color reproduction, which is crucial for applications ranging from entertainment to professional design. The study also investigates challenges in 3D reconstruction arising from camera placement, highlighting how misalignments can affect depth perception and spatial realism. By addressing these critical factors, this research provides actionable insights for developers and researchers, contributing to the advancement of AR/VR technologies and more immersive, realistic experiences.
